Looks to be in totally unused condition, too, Simon.

How much do you think it will finally auction for? Any idea or guess?

[Simes]

Gosh. T would likely know better than me.

£2k?

Your thoughts?

Just checked and the last copy to sell thru HA, in July 2017, sold for $1254.75 and that includes the BP. This was also a backed copy:

Sorry, am a bit colour blind... the ebay one is the red version though, right?

Correct me if wrong, but I thought there were three versions of this poster, blue, purple and red...?  The red being the rarest variant? 

Anyway, 10hrs and we will see.

Appreciate the uncensored boobs this week on a few posters over at EMP.

Might have been the guy with the dots' week off...

Went for £1053 in the end...

Yes, the red version is by far the rarest.  I don't think Emovie or Heritage have ever sold it.  I ended up buying the one yesterday because mine is a little damaged and I wanted a cleaner one.  Was it yours, Simes?

[erik1925]

Nothing like a $35,000.00 reserve! Wow! 

(Four others in the top 10 posters, when sorted by high price, also have a set reserve).

Ah, so it was the Red version on eBay, I am not as colour blind as I thought, and you did have one?  Now, two.

No, on eBay I am simonfirth.  My actual name, which on the internet might seem radical!  But I do sort of know the guy through eBay as he has some items I am after but that now, the dope, he can't locate.

Anyway, this poster is in just lovely condition, so congrats sir.

Beautiful linen finish, "special poster" from Blonde Venus (1932). Currently at $900.00

The last time HA offered this poster, back in July 2015, it wasnt described as "linen finish" so I wonder if 2 formats were done on different paper? Or, are they the same style poster, both with the linen finish? The July 2015 copy sold, with the BP, for $896.25

In either case, what a beautiful portrait of Dietrich. Mama mia!

I thought that was a low price for this poster back in 2015, though it may have been a condition centric result.
I'm sure this one will be very successful.

This one is exceptional. Not often to have such a great film, poster, and the artist's signature, especially with such provenance.

Hey redman.

Back in 2007, Heritage sold a 1938 RR title lobby card for FRANKENSTEIN for $6572.50

Those Chan cards are far more scarce!  And there are a bunch of nice classic comedy pieces....Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott & Costello...

This card is sneakily one of the hardest 1930's Bette Davis cards to find!!  It's nice to see her in her prime without all the heavy drama/period film makeup!


AND look at this lineup of cards under the search heading comedy!!

Redman, Universal horror titles are at the top of the poster mountain. The 1938 reissue cards are the first time Frankenstein as well as Dracula were reissued. This reissue was so popular it lead Universal to bring back the 'ol monsters and it started the second cycle of horror classics beginning with Son of Frankenstein. As rare as the 1938 cards are, the Realart reissue lobby cards are even better since they were printed in full color.

Darn, you guys already know about Bruce's auction!!!   Gentlemen, start your engines!  Okie

[okiehawker]

Some engines appear to be burning way too much gas already at Bruce's auction for today, especially among the higher bidded items.  Breakfast with Audrey is humorous to me to watch its highs and lows among various auctions.  It's also kind of like the Forbidden Planet one sheet, which is beautiful, though was alway fairly common at early conventions: plenty of copies have seemingly always been around, even today copies are in almost every major auction.  I'm glad at least a few beautiful rarities I like are still sometimes overlooked.  I hope the same for what you all are hunting as well!  Okie
